Locale in path

[aistis-]

Hello,

I have a case where the paths of the site looks:

• example.com/en/banana
• example.com/fr/banane
• example.com/lt/bananas

My current routing definition:

# app/config/routing.yml
my_fruits:
    resource: '@MyFruitsBundle/Resources/config/routing/banana.yml'
    type: be_simple_i18n
    prefix:   /{_locale}/
    requirements:
        _locale: 'en|fr|lt'

# src/My/FruitsBundle/Resources/config/routing/banana.yml
my_fruits_banana:
    locales:
        en: '/banana'
        fr: '/banane'
        lt: '/bananas'
    defaults:
        _controller: 'MyFruitsBundle:Banana:list'

How would be possible to deny paths with mismatched _locale and parameter with a translation locale?

What I want to achieve:

• example.com/en/banana - 200
• example.com/fr/banane - 200
• example.com/lt/bananas - 200
• example.com/fr/banana - 404
• example.com/lt/banane - 404
• example.com/en/bananas - 404

Actually this configuration works! BUT it does not work, if between app/config/routing.yml and src/My/FruitsBundle/Resources/config/routing/banana.yml exist middleware routing file with no prefix defined. I18nGenerator is not able to generate prefixed paths anymore.

Hey @aistis-
I try to achieve exaclty that. I can't make it work though.
Are you saying it works? I tried to add a prefix in app/config/routing.yml, but example.com/fr/banana still send back a 200.

@aistis- you can import a route file with a prefix like:

my_fruits:
    resource: '@MyFruitsBundle/Resources/config/routing/banana.yml'
    type: be_simple_i18n
    prefix:
        en: en
        fr: fr

This is not only strict, it's also WAY more performant in terms of route matching. Because the dumped Symfony routes does static prefix optimisations in order to prevent regex matches, with the way you do it every route check is a regex. For more tips on this, I blogged about it: https://blog.frankdejonge.nl/symfony-routing-performance-considerations/

Note that the route definition itself needs to be imported as type: be_simple_i18n.
